Michele...at the very least they could go into acid-free folders &
boxes.  Label in pencil and worry about further divisions, mylar
sleeves, etc later...but at least you'd get them out of the boxes.
BIG TIP -- call Gaylord's Bid Quote Department at 1-800-469-1592.  I
have found that while they don't carry EVERYTHING you may possible
need, they have all the basics and their bid quotes are well below the
list price.  Good luck!
